Abstract

TEFL in Indonesia is conducted on the framework of improving student’s cognitive and psycho-motoric but less in affective activity. The shift from foreign language to multicultural language (Honna, 2000, 2003) is to build intercultural awareness (2008, p.72). In school pedagogic activity is designed to accessing its modes of implementation, its operation and its outcome (Leung, 1993). It emphasizes on the process thus reflection is beyond the focus. Textbook is made on the basis of CLT with the aim to teach communicative competence (Richards, 2006, p.2) by implementing Task Based Approach focusing on creating kinds of interactional processes in the classroom (2006, p.30). ICC is the goal of TEFL therefore an innovation is made to develop student’s ability to be socially and culturally competent speakers (Byram, 2001). The findings show that pedagogic task based adopted authentic as well as created situation and cultural values can boost student’s ICC.

It causes different dialects that makes harder to speak English naturally. This research is to describe and explain the articulatory phonetics that is influenced by Mid-East Sundanese dialect.This research was a qualitative case study.

The data were collected by using questionnaires, students’ recording, observation checklist, and an interview.Based on the research data, it can be concluded that the negative transfer of L1 through vowel sounds was sound [æ]. The students tended to replace the sound [æ] with [ʌ], and [e] as well as sounds [əʊ] and [eə] that replaced with sounds [ʌ], and [ɜː]. While, the consonant sounds which negatively affected by L1 were [θ], [ð], [ʧ]. The students tended to replace the sound with [c], [d], [t], or [s]. Otherwise, L1 positively affected the cluster sounds [pr], [kw], [bl], and [str]. All of the students could pronounce them properly.Based on the findings, the mispronounced words mostly are caused by the lack of pronunciation practice. It helped them to improve and to evaluate their pronunciation ability. Since the students were able to recognize those words, then teacher facilitate them to practicing pronunciation.

The results of the study show that Hillary Clinton gave 24 arguments supported by 70 premises. 50 of her premises met the criteria of acceptability, and 59 premises met the criteria of relevance 19 met the criteria of adequacy. Overall 5 of her arguments have all the premises fulfilled all the criteria of soundness. While for Donald Trump, he produced 25 arguments, 21 were acceptable, 20 relevant, and 3 adequate. Out of his 25 arguments, only 1 met all the criteria and can be considered as a sound argument. The findings indicated that Hillary Clinton made stronger and sounder arguments since they were supported by more accurate and logical premises. Trump failed to give sound argument since most of his premises were more focused on attacking his opponent’s personality rather than providing solid evidences or convincing reasoning. The results of this study should be beneficial for high school, college students or everyone who are interested in debating as an example of how to create a logically strong and sound argument. .

Abstract

The main function of any language is to express ideas, thoughts, and feelings. These being characteristic properties of human beings, the language a human being uses will ultimately reflect what is characteristic of him or her. Good language reflects good characteristics of the user, and vice-versa. Learning being another characteristic property of human beings, the language one learns shapes and is shaped by his or her personal characteristics. As character is the accumulation of one’s personal characteristics, there are good reasons to suggest that while one is learning and using a language, he take good care so that good character is reflected. In that way communication will be properly conducted and interpersonal relationships properly established.

Abstract

This study attempted to evaluate an academic writing textbook used in English Education Study Program of Language and Art Education Faculty of IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, East Java, Indonesia. The fourth edition of a book entitled ―Writing Academic English‖ written by Oshima and Hogue was critically evaluated based on two major points, namely general attributes of the textbook and the learning-teaching contents of the textbook. The general attributes of the textbook cover the book in relation to syllabus and curriculum, the methodology, the book‘s suitability to learners, physical and utilitarian attributes, and efficient outlay of supplementary materials; and the learning-teaching content of the textbook covers general elements (move of the tasks, tasks‘ objectives, etc.), academic writing (specified on research paper writing), vocabulary, grammar, and exercises. The questionnaires developed to evaluate the textbook were adapted from textbook evaluation checklist developed by Mukundan, Nimehchisalem, and Hajimohammadi (2011). The results indicate that the lecturers and students were not really satisfied with the book since it does not represent the students‘ needs and curriculum (the curriculum of English Education Study Program of IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro mandated to teach research paper writing for Writing IV course). The materials provided there are not specified to research paper writing. However, the textbook is very good in some points such as the methodology, physical and utilitarian attributes, layout of the book, general elements (move of the tasks, tasks‘ objectives, etc.), academic writing (from paragraph writing to various essays writing), vocabulary, grammar, and exercises in the area.
